certain class club contest depth features four gotten happy level looking met national people players playing point positions prepares replace talent targeting team time total trying won
We're very happy with this year's class, which features four players who have won club national championships. We were specifically targeting certain positions and people, and we met our expectations. We've gotten to the point where I'm so happy with the talent and depth on our team and where we are at that we are now looking at trying to replace a player that leaves. Before we were trying to up the total level of our talent, but now, we're reloading. This class not only has players who will contest for playing time immediately, but it also prepares us for when other people will graduate.

bit caused early expecting game good great none problems quite satisfied solid
We won, but none of us our satisfied with the way we're playing. Maybe, that's good. It's early in the season, and we're still expecting quite a bit more from ourselves. I feel like we're getting good play off and on. One game its one person. Another game it's another person. We need to get consistent, solid play out of everybody. Alivia (Mazura) had another great game. Dania had a very good game. Gidget ( Liz Eisenberg ) caused them some problems obviously.
against concerned expected planning style system team tough turned
It was what we expected out of Montana, the style and system we were planning to play against. It's one thing to tell the team that this is what's going to happen. It's another to actually play against it. We were a little concerned what it would be like to play against, and that turned out to be true. It was a tough team to play.

We were dangerous in the attack, again. We got dangerous opportunities out of set pieces - throw-ins - which is something we've been working on. Quite a few players played well.

Lindsay is a little more confident and a little more aggressive. I like how much responsibility she's taking for the ball and the way that we're trying to play. When you do that, you get your own chances. She has a terrific shot.

Lisa is a great goal scorer. She scores every time I watch her play. Her best traits are that she is super competitive, tough and does all the hard work to get a goal. Many of her goals come from following shots, getting a piece of a cross or pestering backs to win a ball.
